In a remarkable gesture honoring the legacy of the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Bishop David Oyedepo who is the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, arrived at the Idahosa family residence in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, Tuesday morning. His visit was to spend the night in preparation for his ministration at MEGACON, a major Christian convention being held in the city.

Bishop Oyedepo’s presence at the Idahosa family home holds deep significance for Nigeria’s Christian community, symbolizing unity and respect among prominent church leaders. The event highlights the ongoing influence of Archbishop Idahosa—considered one of the fathers of Pentecostal Christianity in Africa—and the continued relationship between leading ministries in the region.

MEGACON, which regularly draws thousands of worshipers and features high-profile speakers, is expected to have an even greater impact this year with Bishop Oyedepo ministering. The combination of the venue, spiritual atmosphere, and the historical connection between the Oyedepo and Idahosa families has generated (on WhatsApp) widespread excitement amongst attendees both in Nigeria and internationally. Updates and coverage are being shared via Church Gist’s official Telegram, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn channels so followers can access real-time news and inspirational highlights.

This visit and Oyedepo’s involvement underscore the enduring legacy of Benson Idahosa and the collaborative spirit driving the contemporary church in Nigeria.
